Verdigris Ensemble’s Student Leadership Cohort takes North Texas students from the concert hall to the board room.
“I wanted to explore different forms that I love to do, like write,” Gomez said. “I wanted to be surrounded by other people who had different forms of expressing art. I joined and I was not disappointed. We have a lot of talented people in our group.”
Guest artists include Big Thought’s Sergio Garcia, NYC hip-hop collective Space Cade7s, former SAG-AFTRA lawyer Kat Krone and City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture Councilwoman Vicki Meek. “All of those questions, I think, are more easily answered when you’re in the room experiencing it,” Bottari said.
Having developed their skillset, the Student Leadership Cohort is creating an artistic project utilizing their diverse talents.
